Spent hours playing his games, hours of enjoyment but also hours of anguish.

Amen.
What can you say about a person who has given you such joy through his game designs, for over twenty years?
Sad passing, for sure.

The Campaign Series was my GoTo game for years. I think I still have my Talonsoft boxes.

Rest In Peace, John.

Sad to hear of this. A real legend. His spirit will live on in all his games which I am thankful for having played and be yet to play.

Depressing news. John's games were a staple for me since 97 or so when I stumbled upon West Front at a local Gamestop. Truly will be missed, RIP.

I saw his picture on the page link posted, and he looked like a kind man. Then I read the comments and many said he was of a kind and funny character. I feel sorry for his family, he was only about 67. I know several people that died of the same thing, brain cancer. My ex wife is one of them.
